Hey, ya'll!!! Howdy to everyone from a new member from North Carolina!! I found this board today while searching for anything Skynyrd-related or band related and I'm glad that I found ya'll!!
My name is Tony Trout and I'm 39 years old. I'm disabled with Cerebral Palsy & Hydrocephalus and I'm legally blind in my left eye due to the latter.
I've loved Skynyrd ever since I saw the "Behind The Music" special on them and learned through that special on VH1 about the tragic plane crash where Ronnie, Cassie, Steve & Dean (& the pilot and co-pilot) were lost. I remember reading in the press about the grave vandalism and I remember getting angry when I heard about it. How people can be so dis-respectful is beyond my understanding.
This band has, seemingly, seen more tragedy than other bands but they keep on keepin' on - and I'm thankful for that. Their music has gotten me through a lot of hard times. I only wish I could have been old enough to have met Ronnie - and I regret that he's not here for me to do just that: shake his hand and tell him how much the music has meant and still means!
I appreciate ya'll letting me join!! I promise to be a good member and behave!
Take Care/God Bless, Tony Trout
